This setup includes two parallel pipes, each with a different diameter. Pressure tapping points are installed on both pipes, allowing a differential manometer to measure pressure losses. Each pipe is equipped with a control valve, making it possible to experiment with one pipe at a time. The system is a self-contained water recirculating unit that includes a sump tank, a centrifugal pump, and other necessary components. Flow control and bypass valves are installed in the water pipes to adjust the flow rate for different experiments. The water flow rate is measured using a measuring tank and a stopwatch.
Experimental Objective
To determine the losses caused by friction in pipes.
To calculate the friction factor using the Darcy Weisbach equation.
Specifications
He setup includes two pipes made of GI with ½" and 1" Dia.
The length of the pipe test section is 1 meter.
Water circulation is managed by an FHP pump from Crompton or Sharp.
Flow is measured using a 25 liters measuring tank with a piezometer.
The sump tank is made of stainless steel and has a capacity of 50 liters.
The setup includes either a mechanical or electronic stopwatch.
The control panel has an on/off switch, mains indicator, and other features.
The entire setup is carefully designed and built into a precise, high quality structure.
Utilities required other than above supply
Set up requires a water supply and a proper drainage system.
